FOOD FOR THOUGHT Ep. 04 : The Way of the Bloody Red Swamp.

What is a swamp?
A swamp is a tract of wet, spongy land, often having a growth of certain types of trees and other vegetation, but unfit for cultivation.
The way of the swamp is the moment of a person’s life where he or she is faced with challenges: Where nothing seems to working, it feels as though we are stuck despite engaging in the right set principles for that very terrain. Every sight we have within that context feels so overwhelming as though there’s no hope. It feels as though the further we keep engaging the right principles, the deeper the darkness. The pain increases when we do not even know how long that situation may last for us to be out if it. It causes us to be weary in time, as it looks like it won’t ending anytime soon.
Walking through the disgusting swampy moments of life, has us learning patience, understanding terrains of moment, actively learning long suffering, learning focus and the most important building resilience and might on the inside of us.
Walking through swamps does not leave us without scars or bruises or attacks. So in journeying through the swamp, the waters will be filled with our deep red blood. A testament that we passed through that place. It’s never easy as we walk through the swampy waters with our deep red blood, dripping. As things attack us from almost every corner financially, mentally, emotionally, health wise & spiritually.
As we walk though the swamp, some of us have the loads of family, work, business, career, school and more; as burdens of necessary accompaniment. Such that, the bigger the responsibility the higher the pain.
In this swamp realm we learn to embrace the shame, the ridicule, the insults, the misunderstandings, the foolish choices we made as we keep pushing towards the visions. Laying inside the blood upon waters of the swamp is the testament of everything we forsook for the path and are still going through in the path. The way of the swamp is something we can never ignore as long our desire is to arrive at the place of destiny without compromise. The word of comfort during the swampy moments are the the instructions of navigation we gained before the swampy journey and the vision of what is, that awaits us afterwards.

With great understanding I say stay on course folks. Yes it’s hard, I know it’s hard, but stay on course because it’s will surely be victory in the end.

We may not know how long but assuredly as long as we keep doing the right thing we will prevail.

Remain Steadfast.
